A Stellar Green Space Not Far from New York City

Even many New Yorkers are not aware of all the green spaces that are accessible by mass transit from Manhattan. The 46-acre Untermyer Gardens Conservancy in Yonkers is one of those verdant expanses that’s just a relatively short walk from the Metro North’s Greystone station. 



The Vista with stairs that gently descend to the Hudson River was modeled on Italy’s Villa D’Este where the stairs cascade down to Lake Como.



The Temple of Love offers stellar views of the Hudson River and looks lovely from just about every angle.



It’s worth exploring the nooks and crannies of the magnificent outcrop that’s capped with the grand Temple of Love.
